Google Calculator – Convert Seconds into Minutes and Seconds

Update

Observed on 2013-06-13: the calculator no longer requires JavaScript and more importantly copy-pasting the result now works again! (This works both with and without JavaScript from google.com blocked.)

Google Calculator now requires JavaScript. In particular, JavaScript must be allowed from google.com.

In the case of Firefox and NoScript, google.com may be blocked. To use Google Calculator, set NoScript to allow JavaScript from google.com (permanently or temporarily). Unfortunately, copy-pasting the result from this window does not work. Thanks, Google, for breaking the ability to use the clipboard for getting the result.

In the case of Opera, allow JavaScript in site preferences.

There is no documentation for what functions the Google Search Graphing Calculator can support (see diatribe for the why).

From what I have witnessed, the calculator can only graph three types of functions.

• Trigonometric
• Polynomial
• Absolute value

I have only tested the above in 2D space but I believe they also work and 3D spatial coordinates as well.

It seems Google looks to users to do some of their documentation for them. I don't think the Google Search Graphing Calculator even has an official website (just a blog).

Diatribe
I have experienced this same issue on several occasions with Google products. The things Google focuses on are usually explained in a adequate manner, but for other less noticeable features there is little to no explanation at all. For example, the Google Voice service is able to store all of your conversations in an organized way but there is little documentation on how to organize historical phone calls/text/voice mails. I couldn't even find the name for the "conversation" or "historical record" or whatever it is these items are called (never did find an answer even after contacting Google directly).
